The common question now is, will
Speaker Carlisle have the nerve to keep
MFR. Randall OFF the committee ON ap-
propriations sill he have the cour-
age to make a complete revision! The
committee ON appropriations consists of
fifteen members. all D,It three of whom
have been reelected to Congress. Those
not returned are Cabell of Virginia: Ie-
FevTe. of Ohio: and Adams. of New
York Tho loudest demand is for the
scaips of Randall and Holman. and Mr..
Carlisle NAV bc called on for pledges in
this matter before the organization Of
the House. Some of the aCrimonics of

they will be easily remembered till De

Many of those opposed To- Randall as
the despot over appropriations wouii be
willing to have him transferred To the
chairmansbip of the Committee on Ways
and Means. but Mr.. Carlisle could not
we'll afford shat change. He could not
consistently with his own views put the
protective Pennsylvania in such "a com
BDgndinS position on the tariff question.
That was the place held 10y Mr.. Nor
rison. The feeling between the heads Of
the two leading House committees was
deep. of course. Randall and Morrison
have too high a sense of the propricties
To exhibit in public any personal dislike,
but their opposition la each other ON the
tariff question has taken deeper root
than politics. and the way they speak of
each other in private is said to be start
ling. if not scandalous. Congressman
are human, and the oldest and most ex-
perienced of them frequently get their
passions up to the boiling point and
treasure deep-seated hatred.
Mr. Carlisle Is not likely to give Ran
dali Morrison's place. He will have To
confront a strong demand To reduce the
distinguished Pennsylvanian To the
ranks. even in the twenty-fifth year of
his congressional service.

two thousand tons they are not navigable be-
